On my most recent (fresh) 15.3 installation I’m not seeing the Welcome to openSUSE <version> - <kernel version> message presented with vtty login prompts as I am on all other installations. /etc/issue is absent and /etc/issue.d/ is empty. openSUSE-release-ftp and openSUSE-release are installed. What mechanism is responsible for the welcome message presentation with login prompts? My web search for the mechanism was unhelpful. What is this installation missing? Is this a reportable bug?
Hi
zypper se -i --provides /etc/issue
I’m only testing SLE 15 SP3 betas here, it’s all present.
I finally got a mailing list response before sending this but missed it until minutes ago. I had already found /etc/issue itself was not the problem. Apparently issue-generator is not required by anything in a minimal/basic, no-recommends installation. Installing it was solution.
